Per advice in this list I'm planning on naming the new domain ad.ohprs.org. Currently, users login from Windows with "HPRS\joe" as their login ID. What will they use for the ID on the new domain: "OHPRS\joe" or will they have to use e.g. "ad.ohprs.org\joe"? I haven't join a domain member yet so I'm not quite at this point, but as long at we're talking about AD domain names ... --Mark

It must be 15 characters or less, it cannot contain spaces or any of these characters: , ~ : ! @ # $ % ^ & ' . ( ) { } _ \ / So, you can continue to use 'HPRS' as the Netbios domain name (aka workgroup) Rowland
